The dose should be kept to the lowest which is effective in order to minimise side-effects. Many patients respond to a maintenance dose of 750 mg daily and it may be worthwhile to keep patients on this dosage for several months before deciding on a further increment.

D-penicillamine should be given in divided doses. Therapeutic response to changes in maintenance dosage usually will not become evident for six to eight weeks. Some do not respond despite continued use of full doses. There is little point in persevering with D-PENAMINE if there is no response after six months at a full maintenance dose.
